Taiyo Koki's IGV-3NT

To address constantly increasing demands in lead time and quality, Mori Seiki offers the Taiyo Koki IGV-3NT compact CNC vertical grinding machine. Vertical grinding opens up the benefits of multi-processing and helps achieve a lean manufacturing environment.

Through the inclusion of two stations on its turret-type wheel head, the IGV-3NT offers a flexible selection of grinding capabilities. The machine's wheel head quickly switches among internal, external and face grinding, all with just one chucking. This ability proves especially useful when a job demands roundness approaching one micron. The integration of operations also reduces the time a workpiece spends in the factory, thereby dramatically reducing lead time.

The machine's structure features a stable body, supporting high-precision machining characterized by excellent roundness and squareness. Designed with the end-user in mind, the machine simplifies workpiece loading and unloading and allows for easy centering and setup of the workpiece.

The IGV-3NT's internal grinding spindle's options include a programmable speed range of 9,000 rpm to 75,000 rpm and internal grinding diameters ranging from 0.6 in. to 7.9 in. The external grinding wheel features a speed range of 2,400 rpm to 3,700 rpm and a maximum external grinding diameter of 7.9 in. The IGV-3NT's main spindle is capable of programmable speeds from 40 rpm to 800 rpm.
